Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that can cause serious oral health issues if left untreated. It starts with inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and can progress to periodontitis, which affects the bone supporting your teeth. If untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other health problems.
At Espire Dental Fort Collins, we focus on early detection and effective treatment to stop gum disease in its tracks and restore your oral health. Our gum therapy treatments are tailored to each patient, ensuring you receive the care that’s best for your specific condition.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent further damage:
Catching gum disease early is key to reversing damage and maintaining oral health. If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait—schedule an appointment with us today.
Gum or periodontal disease is an infection of the gums that can lead to tooth loss if untreated. It is treated with procedures like scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), laser therapy, and ongoing periodontal maintenance to prevent recurrence.
Most gum therapy treatments, including scaling and root planing, are performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. We can provide additional options to help you relax during the procedure.
Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. Schedule an evaluation to catch the problem early if you notice any of these symptoms.
Gum disease can often be reversed with proper treatment and improved oral hygiene in its early stages (gingivitis). However, more advanced stages (periodontitis) require ongoing management to prevent further damage.
After gum therapy, we typically recommend periodontal maintenance visits every 3-4 months, depending on the severity of the disease. These visits are crucial for keeping your gums healthy and preventing recurrence.
Maintaining good oral hygiene with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups is key to preventing gum disease. Quitting smoking and eating a balanced diet can also help reduce your risk.
Don’t let gum disease affect your smile and overall health. At Espire Dental Fort Collins, we offer effective gum therapy solutions to treat and manage gum disease, helping you restore and maintain healthy gums.
